Footloose and Cankle-Free with Vaser Hi-Def!

What do Alicia Keys, Hillary Clinton, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Mischa Barton, and Mylie Cyrus all have in common? They’ve all been reported to have chubby lower legs. This infliction is now commonly referred to as “cankles.”

Of course, shapely legs from thighs to ankles are a goal for most women. However until just recently, plastic surgery hasn’t been a particularly effective option.

The reality is that “perfect” legs are very hard for anyone to achieve. It would take the perfect combination of diet, exercise, and genetics with a little luck thrown in for good measure to get truly flawless gams. And when it comes to cankles, no amount of diet and exercise is likely to get rid of them. Here’s where VASER Hi Definition can really help!

Why VASER Hi Def?VASER Hi Def Liposuction is not about removing as much fat as possible. It’s about artistry and sculpture, creating lean, perfectly proportioned thighs, calves, and ankles. The ultimate pair of beautiful legs should taper into the knees and lead to small sexy ankles.

Today there are very few areas of the body that cannot be slimmed or enhanced by liposuction. Yes, even thighs, calves, ankles, and knees can all be refined and sculpted with VASER Liposuction. The extreme precision of VASER technology coupled with Dr. Shapiro’s surgical talent, take leg liposuction to a whole new level—minimally invasive, fast recovery, and phenomenal results.

Can it make legs shapely?Using the smallest VASER ultrasonic tip with careful technique, Dr. Shapiro very delicately sculpts the areas around the knees to create the lean and toned shape of the legs. He can remove unwanted fat from the calves and ankles to produce the ultimate tapered and shapely legs – without obvious scarring. Care and thought are taken into the incision placement so that any potential scarring is hidden in inconspicuous places at the knees, in the back of the legs, and the groin.

Post-surgery, patients are able to return to low exertion work one week after surgery. Compression garments are worn for 3 – 6 weeks, and final results reveal themselves within six months.

Whose legs are a good candidate for VASER Hi Def ?VASER Hi Def is for individuals who are in good shape and are looking to enhance their current physique. Because VASER Hi Def relies on skin retraction to attain its phenomenal results, it is not designed for those who are very overweight. Other options are available, and a detailed consultation with Dr. Shapiro will help you understand which procedure options the best for you and will provide you with the results that you are looking for.
